in PIP, DLA, ADP & AA
Am gettin nervous bout my PIP call tom.Do they take MH  issues seriously n how they affect people.My MH is really bad n it affects my daily life.I spend most days in bed n hardly eat.Only have a microwave n not had a proper meal for days.My friend does check on me n promps me ro do stuff n check i still alive! Am worried they will not b bothered n it wont count at all..If i go out i get scared n shout at people.Have also started shouting random words like in a MH sort of way.I l know they will stop my PIP n have told my friend plans r in place to mayb do somethin to myself when it stopped.I have no family n am tryin to get support but it takes ages.

    PIP assessment guide part 2: the assessment criteria - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
    Prompting = Reminding, encouraging or explaining by another person.
    Assistance = Physical intervention by another person and does not include speech.
